Description

Joey Votto looks at baseball differently than most and he brings that unique perspective to Starkville. Some of the topics covered...
-The problem with getting 2000 hits is that it's not 3000 hits  
-How the game has changed throughout his career
-How to measure intangibles
-Why he's so impressed by Mike Trout
-What made 2017 his pièce de résistance
-What made the middle of his career difficult and why he's having the most fun of his career right now
All that and more. Then, in Strange But True, Rays outfielder Brett Phillips placed himself along side legends of the game after his inside-the-park homer last week and Jayson and Doug get a blast from the past as Paul Hembekides delivers this week's trivia question.
